Spring

I can't not tell you how happy I am that it feels like Spring! I haven't been able to get away from the office and the kitchen to enjoy it yet but I will! And somehow just knowing that it's warm outside makes it better. Anyhoo, I don't have a lot to say...in fact I should be in bed, but I got some pictures today of John H taking out the side walk below the Center. Oh and the old deck is gone. Even construction makes me feel like Spring. :) I can't wait to see how things turn out and have a wonderful BBQ on the new 12 or is it 14 foot deck ;). They'll have to decide at some point which it's going to be. Okay, I'm done, gotta get.

Okay. So it has been a while. Yet it feels like longer than 12 days. I haven't been blogging because I don't know how to blog about a lot of the things that have been going on in my life. Yes, life at work has been interesting with the accident on Monday and the fall out from that. But personally I've been going through a lot involving evaluating my future and such and I STILL don't know if I have any answers...I'll let you know, when I know :). In the meantime, Kenneth and I enjoyed a warmish afternoon of taking down the lights from the trees outside the Center.

Thankfully it didn't take nearly as much time taking them down as it did putting them up. I think we were both grateful for that. So there are only a few trees left and Karma can now get started on her Spring time prep.

We did find some wonderful early signs of Spring among the dead leaves and dirt. A good sign of things to come. Soon I hope. Even though as I type this on Saturday afternoon it looks more like winter wonderland outside then spring. Oh and I LOVE watching the wind blow snow into my house under my front door. Oh the joys....I just look at this picture and think Spring. SPRING!

Kenneth, you are so welcome for the photo blog of your day! LOL. Hee hee. It makes me smile. Anyway, on my way home from work last night I noticed that there is only one light holding out from last year. I spent, I don't even want to know how many hours, rewiring those wonderful(stupid) pathway lights last Mayish(?) and they have slowly all been burning out on me, and alas the one remains. I guess it is time to get busy and replace some light bulbs...when did this become my new permanent job? Oh the joys of community life :) I say that with ALL the love in the world.

This second picture is me playing with the manual settings on my camera. Go me. I think it looks kinda cool.

I'm sorry this post is kinda just jumping all over the place but this is how my brain has been working when I'm not at work lately so bear with me if you haven't already given up and stopped reading.

I've been doing some thinking about home lately. What makes home? Where home is. Is home a physical place? Can you make home anywhere? I don't think there are simple answers to these questions because I can have my physical house, okay shack, that is my home but I still feel at home at my parents house. In many ways when I go to Logan I feel at home, just not to the same degree. Also at times like right now my shack feels less like home without Sharon but it's still my house. I feel at home in my office of all places, granted I have made my office very much my own space. Then there are those times when I look out my office window and see this view and take a deep breath and feel home.

I'm home

But I will miss this.
